Abstract:
Statistical consulting projects with researchers in the College
of Nursing at Villanova have provided a pool of datasets that
can be shared with students in a required statistics course
for undergraduate Nursing majors.

Since the datasets tend to be large and unwieldly, we have
installed them in a Web archive that allows students to select
subsets of variables and observations that can be analyzed
using tools learned in a first statistics course.

We will summarize the pedagogical issues involved in the use
of the data archive, and review experiences we have had in our
courses that use the archive.
